. . . when hitting 'reply' always delete the text of the message you
are replying to -- namely, do not leave old posts (or whole digests!)
underneath your reply, but by all means quote lines you particularly
want to refer to. This can greatly reduce download times, and makes
emails (esp. digest ones) much easier and faster to read.

If you want to limit your incoming mail you can change to the digest
version of the salon. This will allow you to receive posts from the
salon as a single large subject-indexed message, about once a day.
You can then simply read the contents list at the top of each digest
message to decide whether you wish to read the posts (tip: search
repeatedly for 'Subject:' to scan through to each post in the digest).
To change to digest membership simply send the message:
set film-philosophy digest
to: [log in to unmask]
